If you build it, we will come. D.Myers. I have not been this excited since Tony Antrobus`s oiled up tatts/arms.
D.Myers is taking us to the promised land.
I'm thinking of putting 23 on the back of my guersney
as a tribute to bolts?
You serious? did you watch the bulldogs game in the nab cup? did you watch his game against Sydney? He is playing fairly well for an 18 yr old

Reminds me a lot of Pendulbury, hope we see him in the midfield soon though, as he is too good to be wasted on the half back line

If he develops into a Pendlebury type I'll be disappointed.
We have plenty of outside squibbs and we don't need another.

LOL think he look as though he could be a bit of an allrounder at the moment pretty Impressive:thumbsu:
Looks to me he commits himself to tackling well and spoiling, don't think we have a squib on our hands

Level head, great skills, huge kick, very hard at the ball and at the man when tackling. Great pick up, Rhys Palmer would have been great too, but I don't think we made a mistake here. He's likely to be better than some of the guys taken before him.

I know its a strange call.. But I think he will be better then Rhys Palmer even though it is like comparing chalk and cheese.
I think its rare that players are born with a footy brain and a natural ability to know that the ball is going to do.
I think that Myers, McVeigh and Stanton are the only ones in the club at the moment that have that footy brain.

nothing strange about that.
Myers will be better, it's as simple as that.
Palmer will be awesome, but imo he's not going to be a as class as Myers, and he sure as shit doesn't have the leadership qualities.
Myers showed a few wares on the weekend. He is going to be special

looks to be a ready made player. would palmer have been a better fit for us? possibly but like most, no one would have any issues with what they've seen of myers so far.
myers' potential is superior to palmer's. what you see now is what you'll get in 5 years from palmer. that's not necessarily a bad thing, but dave could be a superstar

Has he touched the ball more than 17 times in a game? Kicked one goal. Done okay putting in a couple of tackles. That's all he has done.
He looks slow.
Never has time to properly kick the footy.
Does not arch his back when he kicks. He looks like he swallowed a goal post.
His kicks falls short of the target more than often.
His efficiency is nothing to write home about. (I can't be bothered looking for that stats, hope someone can post that too).
Fumbles the ball, below his knees.
Hasn't taken a contested mark over his head.
In 15 minutes of footy he looks like he is stuffed.
And just because club thinks he is got leadership skills, everyone keeps saying that. I am sick of hearing that crap. What's he done on the field that shows leadership skills?
There's two players in the Essendon line up, who have leadership skills. One is McVeigh and other an inconsistant Hill.

I didn't know the amount of disposals a game you get was the way you judge a player on how good they are :rolleyes:
Someone tell Peter Matera he's not a champ then.
Why don't you post efficiency stats, I believe Palmer's kicking was around 25% today.

Myers is a more penetrating kick and will take longer than Palmer to develop, he has the makings to become a very good player.

:eek: Are we both talking about Australian Rules Football?
It's one of the clear indicaters how someone is travelling in a game. It might not to everyone and every position in the ground. But if stats doesn't matter at all, then there will be so many people jobless. Even within footy clubs, during the match there's people sitting in the box looking at the opposition players and who is getting more of the ball.
Tells more than often how good they are and how consistant they are.
Palmer to do what he has in his first year of football and compare that to say Stanton, who has been playing for 4-5 years in the midfield. You know he is something special. But Myers hasn't done anything to write home about.
To write things like you are glad we didn't get Palmer...it's brainless.
Let Myers average 25 possies. Let him crash through packs and drill it down someone's throat. Then say things like that.
But if you want to make judements and comment right at the moment we should all be queuing to jump in a huge well.

Palmer is also a year older than Myers and most of this years draftees. If you're going to compare Palmer and Myers you really should be comparing Palmer now to Myers this time next year.

You should watch some Essendon games mate - you'll realise why we drafted Myers instead of Palmer.
Myers' v Hawthorn was drilling 50m passes to Lucas' chest.
Palmer v Brisbane had a 27% disposal efficiency...ouch
Palmer = already developed
Myers = bucket loads of potential

I think that you may be missing the point here. Although it is true that Palmer may end up a better player, you can not make definitive conclusions about a player after half a season. All players are drafted on their potential ability to make it as an AFL player bsaed on the ability that they show in the comp they were drafted from. We have seen a great deal of ability in Palmer, and a great deal of potential in Myers. But the point is that potential does not translate into ability straight away at the highest level. Palmer is a rare case here. To write off a bloke after 5 games shows a lack of appreciation for all the above points.
On what i've seen, Palmer looks like he would have been exactly what the Dons needed but i'll keep hoping that Myers becomes something better.
Another mid-fielder who can't kick?
IsDonIsGoodes
9 Jun 2008, 12:00
No one's saying that Palmer's figures aren't impressive for a first year player. You have to remember he is spending most of his time on the ball with Sandilands putting it in his lap. Myers plays a totally different role, comparing stats will always advantage Palmer.

That's exactly what I am trying to say TheDon. It's like you read what's on my mind, put them in good words.
No one should be making a final say on who is better, but please just don't say things like "You are glad" just yet, because Palmer is miles ahead right now. It's like people are trying to justify why we picked Myers before Palmer because he kicked a goal or his kick fell in Lucas's lap.

We have enough players who turn the ball over regularly, couldn't hit a target to save his life yesterday.
Anyone that watched a fraction of WA in the Champs last year wouldn't be the least bit surprised that Palmer's out in front.
It was always expected, as he came into AFL football completely ready to go. He brought a lot to the table, but at the end of the day the reason he got to pick 7 was that he's slow, hasn't got a great kick on him and is very one sided.
He's another version of Paul Hasleby. A guy that'll peak from the start but won't get a hell of a lot better.
In Myers we've got a guy with the potential to be a lot more than that. No one can say he will be a lot more than Palmer, but he has more natural ability.
Players with potential take more time than those that are ready made. That's commonsense.
So come back in 2010 and we'll see how they're going.
On a more general note, people on this board have to stop expecting the world of kids in their 1st/2nd/3rd seasons. A lot of stars have taken time, they're not all going to step into AFL football and dominate like some seem to demand. The kids we've got have futures, have some patience.
Why doesn't one person say "I'm so glad we took Myers over Palmer because Palmer is a bad kick" and the rest can quote it...

I believe that making a comparison between the two is pointless and irrelivent they play different positions and are completely different builds.
Myers is going to be bigger than Kruezer AND Palmer in years to come, unlike those two he has a FOOTY BRAIN which is a massive bonus and its rare that an AFL player has one (IQ of 82 on average much?) Hird had one, Bewick had one Mercuri had one Myers has one.
Anyone giving Myers crap is a complete idiot.
Compared to Myers, Palmer is one of Mrs Palmers five little daughters.

Exactly...Whats done is done and the sooner people get over that the better. We have Myers, Fremantle have Palmer.
I am really happy with David's progress thus far. His Booming kick has been a feature in all his games, and he displays a good football brain for a bloke his age. Has been given some pretty hard jobs but generally does alright and is yet to be disgraced IMO.
The thing I like about him is his willingness to apply hard tackles and make a contest and get the ball moving forward. A lot of players tend to get fancy and stuff around with the ball but Myers seems to know what the right option is and tries to get the ball into our forward line into the one on one contests.
Will probably continue to improve as the season goes on, and really come on over the next few years as he develops the body to crash through packs and break tackles. I see tonight as a potential break out game...hope he tears it apart :thumbsu:

I loved the handball tonight with 5 minutes to go in the last quarter when he side steped a player and then handballed to a running player. just a glimise what we can expect from him. Reminds me of a young dalsanto with the time he has and the way he moves. Exciting times ahead!!
What was his kicking like as a junior because at times he kicking looks abit off but im sure hes kicking will come with time and feeling more comfortable playing afl.

this kid is all class. Booming kick
Although he was reasonably quiet last night, had a good battle with another quality kid in Masten (and finished dead evens), from what I have seen in the past few weeks from this boy I am very excited.
It's been a while since I've seen a kid with so much poise and calmness about the way he plays. There was a number of times he was backed into a corner, given a hospital pass or put his body on the line to get possession and never did he panic. Paused, found the best option, delivered and moved on.
The kid will be the general of our midfield for years to come.

Booming left peg, can spot up as well.
He has no match fitness at all, and for him to be playing ok with that in mind, means that there is plenty more improvement in him. Went back a step or two against WCE so hopefully he can play another good game against Carlton.

you serious? What on earth are you expecting, a BOG every week?
Some of those long balls that Dave pumped into the forward line were absolute missiles. Not all of them paid off, but after the incessent handballing of 8 preceding weeks it was awesome to watch a player with the ability to smash lines with his kicking like that

His long bombs break the lines, his kicking is fine.

His long bombs are one of his best assets. Not many can hit a moving target from 50m away.
He is a deadset gun.

We played like there was only 5 minutes left when carlton piled on those goals until Myers thumped the ball down to the 50 which resulted in a goal by lloyd :thumbsu:
that long bomb sure can change the momentum.

Did anyone else hear Myers on SEN this morning? Geez he was hugely impressive, spoke like an absolute pro. No wonder he is being earmarked as a potential leader of the club.
Very very impressive on and off field. :thumbsu:

You can pencil him in as our next captain too. I liked the way he controlled an interview this morning on SEN with Maher and Watson.

One of his best games. Improving all the time. I fell in love with him during the nab cup, sorta fell out of love, then back in love on the weekend.
Super impressive again.
His aggression at stoppages is what's suprised me. real talent.
And some people questioned me when i said he was not simply a half back like it was reported around the draft.

;11493209']What did he say?
How it was good for the team to have two wins a row. Talked about Reimers how he is a quiet natured person, with a heart of gold.
It was close to the news hour, so it was short and sharp.

You, me and the whole football world knows that's bullshit. ;)
He will not only be a regular in the tribunal but a regular in the jail cell as well.
:D
Joking, thanks for the info.
What did he talk about in the interview?
He spoke about a few things, one was living with Reimers and how he's an individual. Called him "the kid", which cracked up the SEN crew given Myers own age.
After listening to that interview, I'm certain that Myers will be the public face of the essendon football club for the next 15 years. Just such a composed and strong personality.

Myers boot is a lethal weapon! That kick on qtr time shows how special this kid could be
i love the fact that he is already so strong in every contest he competes in, and will often have 3 to 4 efforts at once
How far away is he from a rising star nomination? Would be great to see him kick a couple of goals running through the centre.

By my count, that is his 4th injury in his first year. I hope this isn't a trend.

The footy God's will turn guys, don't you worry, next year, the Essendon/Geelong grand final with Essendon a full list and Ablett and Bartel unfortunate 1 week suspensions. Was enjoying watching his progress though.

Whilst the foot injury is disappointing, it won't do him any harm for his body to have a few weeks rest.
Geelong have been fantastic in developing their list by resting and rotating young players.
Stress fractures are normally a sign of over-working, he should have been rested earlier.
Myers goes out, another kid gets a go and the development of our list keeps rolling on.
